I'd ignore the rocket lake results because they are skewed by having AVX512 while AMD and ironically, Alder Lake S doesn't. Overall, it's good performance for a non-K sku. If the K skus are 15-20% ahead of Ryzen 5000 and not priced terribly, I think it will be a good CPU. But with Intel, pricing can always be funky. Speedrun Gigabyte Power Supply Explosion: Biggest Failure Yet (GP-P750GM) They were able to kill it in 13 minutes. Skip to 16:50 if you want to see. No PSUs regardless of load should be doing this as it's protections should come on and project it. Shameful Gigabyte. |
Looking quite promising for Alderlake. If the benchmark leaks from a couple months are indicative of performance (of their higher end skus) they're in for a winner for this year. Particularly, the single core scores which is will put this on top for gaming and overall. If they priced similarly to their current lineup, this would put Intel back in the game. It'll be interesting to see how AMD will respond with their refresh lineup with V-cache.
Also kinda shocking (pun intended) that Gigabyte won't admit that their product is faulty and instead try to trying to pin it on reviewers testing methodology. I mean peoples feedback and returns on huge retailers should have been a big enough of a red flag.
Count me out of Gigabytes future products.
